A Portugal Golden Visa through a fund investment, with parents included

Background

Mr Fang, from Taipei, applied with his wife, one child and his parents. He wanted European residence for the whole family.

Main concern

He worried about fund risk and the stay requirements.

Our approach

We compared several qualifying funds’ investment focus, fees and exit terms, chose a diversified fund, and planned the 14-day stays every two years.

Process and outcome

The investment is complete and the application filed; it is awaiting the immigration authority’s decision.

Adviser’s comment

Golden Visa processing takes a long time, so plan early.

Portugal Golden Visa application process

1. Assessment and fund selection (2–4 weeks): We assess your eligibility and compare qualifying funds.
2. Accounts and investment (1–2 months): Obtain a tax number, open a bank account and complete the investment.
3. Application (Per scheduling): Apply online and attend biometrics.
4. Residence card (Usually 18–24 months or longer): AIMA has a large backlog, so processing takes longer. Once approved, collect your residence card and renew it on schedule.
